I used the Redsn0w program and installed the 4.3.5 tethered version. I am not sure I installed it 100% correct tho. I can not add many repositories. Phone also crashed a few times in which I had to wait til I got home to turn on.

I am interested in updating to a ios5.0.1 untethered version that will work 100%. I tried today for 2 hours and thought I bricked my phone, but finally got it back to the 4.3.5 garbage.

If you have the blobs for 5.0.1 you can go there. If not then you will have to go to 5.1

I am not positive what blobs are but I will look them up in the meantime. I know for a fact tho, that i did not save anything, or backup with tinyumbrella or whatever prior to jailbreak. What are my consequences? Do I just download the ios 5.1 then use redsnow to install it?

Blobs are used to downgrade ya devices if needed. No big deal if ya didn't do it just can't downgrade ya phone to a lower firmware. I would suggest gitting tiny umbrella and start doing it thou. And yes install 5.1 and run redsnow but it will be a tethered jailbreak. So be carefull what you do away from ya computer.

I will start with tiny umbrella. thanks. BUT! if I upgrade to 5.1 won't I have trouble downloading a lot of cydia apps that say they are not ios 5.1 compatible? and can ios 5.1 be unlocked for a new carrier? I thought it couldnt be...

What's your baseband? 5.1 has unlocking gevy and ultrasnow work if I'm not mistaken.

I think my base band orrr modem firmware is 4.10.01. in settings/general/about... I just thought I read somewhere you cant unlock iphone 4 with the newer firmware... IDK!!! I really don't know where to go with this phone!
